[hobbeslayer117]

That looks pretty cool, except for the part about paying for stuff for your avatar. That's bullshit.

Hey Susan, now we know your gamer tag Bwahahahahaha.

Oh, about the whole 'Games On Demand' shindig, I've heard that BioShock, among others, will be one of the games available for download. I'm assuming that they'll cost around 30-40 quid, but I'm wondering if anyone knows anything more specific about the pricing than that (so I know how much I ought to have spare for when the update rolls around).

Ive been googling a bit and all other sites report the update going live on the 11th of august

 

[SWCEMarlboros]

this is bull its aug 11 for the update. thanks for the lead on

 

[philzibit]

Hopefully company's will see this as yet another marketing gold mine and put out like free Doritos's shirts and stuff because there is no way I'm wasting that much on pointless avatar accessories

You could email Microsoft to be part of the preview. I provided you with the link before, but here it is again [http://majornelson.com/archive/2009/07/20/xbox-360-system-update-preview-program.aspx].

Oh, well no biggie. Now you know; and knowing is half the battle.

look slike a funky update for sure, the whole netflix thing is a sham as i wouldnt mind having access to that but hey we'll be getting 1 vs 100 at least.

all in all looks like a fairly decent update, looking forward to see if it lives up to the expectations when it comes online.

The first wave of people that were accepted into the preview program were notified today; I did not get in the first wave. Major Nelson says that if you haven't recieved and email yet, you are not in the first wave. Luckily, registration is still open and there will be another wave later this week. Woo-hoo!

 

[jmgdon]

is it just usa or is it world wide

Any game that goes on there will be priced as their normal retail price for a new copy in stores at that time.
